She wrote a poem on a whim

Enchanted
I began to play...

"A good note", she smiled

I melted ivory E
And then she began to sing, ever so slowly...

"Ooh, my love
when you come to me
my love
I know the truth
my love
And ooh, my love
I KNOW
you love me."

Finished, and completely, she sighed...

"More, please!” I thought to myself
as the last remnants of sound
gathered up like an ocean wave
rolling toward some virgin shore

Only to surrender there

melted there

in ivory

Adroitly playing
more than just the keys.


Well done! I really enjoyed the imagery, RF.
